Nick Grimshaw on X Factor judging role: 'I will be nice but real and honest'

Nick Grimshaw has offered a glimpse into how he will act as an X Factor judge.

The Radio 1 DJ is a new addition to the show's panel alongside singer Rita Ora.

Speaking to the Mirror, the Brit said that he isn't intending on being "mean" to contestants.

However, he will be "honest" and unafraid tell the truth.

Grimshaw said: “I think I will be nice when I need to be nice and I don’t think I would ever be mean to anyone because it must be so terrifying and nerve-wracking to get up on that stage, but I think I will be real and I will be honest.

“I think you can say ‘this is the wrong career for you’. If you can’t sing there is no point saying ‘you’re quite good’. If they are not going to win it or you don’t want to see them in the final I don’t think there is any point going any further.”
